There is no gilding the lilly with this Jelly. Which intelligent but never wily Coyote has just taken up residence in the 20k mansion?

She is funny and wise and never ceases to amaze with the breadth of her interests and her knowledge. Please join me in congratulating one of the loveliest Jellies, LillyCoyote, as she takes her well earned place in the 20k mansion!

@Jeruba Yes, I didn’t want to claim all the credit for myself and felt that, at merely 20,000, it might be presumptuous, and should be left to my elders to provide the traditional, sacred foods of fluther. And I hope someone thought to do it, because I don’t want this to go badly. I want everyone to have a good time. I don’t want people to be talking for days about how there were no pancakes and maple syryup at my party!

OMG! I provided the food and the booze for the party and meant to post some music! I planned to start with this one.. It’s way too quite on this thread, I think, for a party. Then maybe move on to this one, the rest of you are on your own. There’s a quite room too, if people need it. Some of us are getting old and need an occasional break, me included. :-)

Anyway, I’m having a party even if the rest of you aren’t. I have nothing against questions about bath towels, and copyright infringement and bank fees but they’re kind of, well, I don’t want to use the B word, really…

Picks around on the table… who ate all the food? I went to bed and you ate and drank everything! Hugs @lillycoyote. Hope you had a fabulous time. Looking at all the hungover jellies, it appears everyone else did!!

In addition to having been an impeccable source of accurate information and well-thought-out opinions, you have translated @jerb’s technical data for me and given me tech info I can actually understand.

@gailcalled LOL. @jerv is nothing if not thorough. It’s hard to fault him when puts so much effort into providing thorough, detailed, thoughtful answers to technical questions but it is enough to make your eyes glaze over and your head spin sometimes.

Oh dear, how did I arrive so late? Even @Jeruba‘s pancakes are gone, and is that @Symbeline asleep in the empty tub o’ beer? It looks like it was quite the celebration. No surprise with such a special guest of honor.
Congrats, @lillycoyote. You deserve every lurve!

To all my my “guests” to all those who have attended my party, i want to say thank you, so much. I wish I was the kind of person that could write a little personal note to all of you, and I want to and I could but if I tried I would be editing and tweaking them for the next two weeks or so, until I got them near perfect and they still wouldn’t be perfect. I don’t have all those Perfecto Fish for nothing. I just want to thank you all for being so special, each and every one of you. There are many areas in my life where I am not able to simply be myself and I very grateful that i can do that here, that all of you, simply allow me to be myself, so

Now as you know, some jellies arrive at the mansion by chauffered limousine, and others come by horse drawn carriage, but you my dear are going to arrive via Wonkavator which contrary to popular belief does not look like a glorified flying outhouse!

After you get situated we’ll escort you up to your room so that you can dine sitting at your very own Crown and Anchor picnic table laid out with cheese fries and a pitcher of Shiner Bock and a dessert of TastyKakes.

Later on, when you’re ready for bed, we’ll send @Symbeline up to put a pillow over your face : ) We’ve also put a special deluxe doggy bed right next to yours, just for Lizzie.

Oh, and by the way, I forgot to tell you, This is your quarters. Hope you likey : )

And for your dining pleasure, or whatever pleasure you desire, I’ve made a full sized “soy man” in the image of Danny Glover (my own recipe). Just pop him in the microwave until he gets nice and hot then, well then, uh then BLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEP!

OMG @Kardamom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Either you are stalking me or you are the most awesome, most paying attention person ever!!!!!!!!!! Crown and Anchor cheese fries and Shiner Bock? Bring them on! Tastycakes? Danny Glover? The pillow over my face? (That sounds bad but I know exactly what you mean.) And a space for my dear puppy Lizzie? And the yacht?

”Now as you know, some jellies arrive at the mansion by chauffered limousine, and others come by horse drawn carriage, ...”

That is one of the best characterizations I’ve ever seen of the range of personalities on fluther. I’m certainly in the retro group; my husband keeps reminding me that there aren’t very many buggy-whip makers any more. My sons ask me when I’m going to get caught up to the twentieth century.

I think we’d have to agree that there are also some jellies who zoom in at the wheel of Batmobile-equivalents and a few who barrel in by Jeep. Have we missed anybody?

@Jeruba No, there aren’t too many buggy-whip makers any more. On my mother’s side of the family, my great-grandparents owned a harness shop that supported their family quite nicely for a couple of generations until the damn horseless carriage came around and eventually put them out of business.

And I think I’ve seen at least one person arrive at the mansion by bicycle. Yes?

Phew! Maybe bicycles aren’t all they’re cracked up to be! I shoulda’ took a plane and halo jumped in to the roof pool (the floating luminaries in there would have made a nice target).

20k, pshaw, @lillycoyote, has not yet begun to collect lurve. The Oracle at Mansion has told me that she predicts the downfall of Fluther will come when too many attempt to GA each other after @lillycoyote puts the coup de grace on a lurve chain reaction overload, quietly rumored for years!

Maybe putting her submissions on a six week delay could avoid unforeseen evolutions in the Lurvosphere. I am willing to chair the committee with early viewing privileges.

What you all have mistaken for a party has truly been a distraction! Even now the sense dulling revelry you’ve partaken in has given her a sizeable advance in knowledge. As-is all of us working tirelessly for weeks would only have been able to fashion a rudimentary defense that would leave us in a besieged zion.

Now, we must bring the fight to her by answering questions that are taunts of our ignorance, deftly. Reading her answers with exactitude for she has devastated with subtle nuance in the past.

Reevaluate your celebration…

When the information runs out, it is your very soul she’ll be after next!

We must ration this fact flow so that in the end a symbiosis is formed. We must harness this force, or be its snack.

These are the things I heard from the Oracle who is seated amidst the syrup vapors in the mansions grotto, through which the syrup river finds its source.

@Ltryptophan My crazy friend, my very favorite amino acid, thank you so much darling. I don’t entirely know what you are talking about but I love it and you anyway. And, it’s about time you showed up to the party. I was wondering where you were. My feelings were hurt! All is forgiven though; you finally got here, but I definitely vote for you traveling by plane next time; or at least a motorbike of some sort. :-)
